Yeah. I would have expected that "git log -p" would at least show after
the fact, relying on "less" being aware about it, but that does not seem
to be the case.  Setting my pager to "cat -e" is the only workaround I can
think of right now (shows "M-BM- " there), but of course that wouldn't be
practical at all. We want to notice this during patch application.
